Schubert: Valses nobles et sentimentales

Description

Master miniatures, Schubert's waltzes find in Guillaume Coppola an inspired poet. Guillaume Coppola continues his personal and original journey with Schubert. The 12 Noble Waltzes and the 34 Sentimental Waltzes are as rarely performed as they are moving. For beneath a veneer of lightness, these short triple-time dances do not let us forget that the composer is one of the most inspired of his era. True sonic jewels lasting a few seconds, they show Schubert's talent for the miniature, knowing how to get to the essence while retaining that melodic genius which characterizes him. In contrast, the Sonata No. 5 in A minor D537, one of the first truly completed Sonatas, is a twenty-five-minute journey through the meanders of complex feelings and contradictory states of mind. A romantic drama contained within a three-movement architecture. Finally, the Hungarian Melody completes this program in a very personal vision. A program both rich and varied, showing opposing and complementary facets of a composer who has not finished moving us. Well then, dance now!
